Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I must be doing something wrong. There was no video there. There was an article, but no video for me.

Crap. Double posted by accident. Ignore this.

In my link? Welp, I guess your my issue wasn't the same as yours then. Shame it didn't work.

The video not appearing is not terrible weird. Depending on the player and the site it may happens when, for some reason, it doesn't load. Some sites have the same thing with images. If they image doesn't load, it simply doesn't show anything in place.

Or you might be outside of the US, apparently ABC set the access policies for everything to US only, be it full episodes, previews or extras.

I do live in Canada. That might explain it.

Clearly, I need to start attacking people.

That will solve my problems right?

That explain the first link, not the second. I am outside the US also.

It's on Youtube now

There we go.

Thanks. I'm not clear how this will go, but hopefully, it will end well for everyone.

Since Age of Ultron has already premiered outside the US, do you think the next episode will take place concurrently with the beginning of the movie? And then the episode after ("Scars") will take place concurrently/after the rest of the movie?

By the way, on the show page, I've replaced all "Lai Xi"s with "Láishì," which is the actual word.

I think it's certainly possible for the next episode to overlap chronologically with Age of Ultron, but they are going to avoid any real spoilers since the bulk of the Ao S audience will not have seen it. At most we'll get a reference to Struker's base being attacked by the Avengers while the Ao S crew assaults List's.

On the subject of Age of Ultron, if anyone who has seen it in Europe or otherwise mentions any spoilers for the movie in this thread without using the proper markup, I will punch them through the internet. I know you might not believe that's possible under the very understandable assumption that the internet doesn't work like that, and it does not. But you are still wrong.

Winter Soldier was also released early in Europe, but Agents of SHIELD went off the US timeline.

Also remember that Ultron won't (to my knowledge) directly affect AoS in the same way that Winter Soldier did. Sure, it's a major event and everything, but they're not gonna be going for another HYDRA reveal.

Considering the probable army of machines that Ultron will command, I will be impressed to see Coulson, Battlestar Shield, and the Inhumans ignore the events of AOU.

These shows entertain me more when I feel like they're overlapping, like Sitwell leaving Coulson's operation to go to the Triskellion in Winter Soldier, like Peggy Carter showing up along with Dum Dum Dugan. When they ignore the films it makes me sad inside.

AOU doesn't have to effect the other, but I still want some big acknowledgment. Not just one episode - Ultron's attacking, next episode, Ultron's not a threat anymore! Some kind of loose end that could only be picked up on in AOS.

We'll see. In any case, it wouldn't make much sense to add an overlap before the actual audience of the show can even appreciate it because they had no chance to watch Ao U yet.

I know, but they had somewhat of an overlap before Winter Soldier aired - the episode before it came out even included a scene at the end from the actual movie.

That's called a teaser. Nothing about Thor 2 or Cap 2 affected the show until after it came out in the US.

I didn't say it had an affect, I said there was an overlap. For example, Sitwell said he was being pulled to go onto the Lemurian Star - and then on Winter Soldier, we see Sitwell on the Lemurian Star.

I found out something about Age of Ultron....

....... THE DOG DIES!

There is a potential reasonably big crossover with Age of Ultron, anyone who's seen the film should know what I'm thinking off and if others want to know I'll put it in spoiler tags.

That's why I mentioned it ahead of time, if someone had asked I'd have first made a post warning people to turn spoilers off before reading my 2nd post.

Please don't. Not even in tags. Some people have spoilers visible, and aren't expecting Ultron spoilers in this thread.

If anyone wants to know, you can PM them, I suppose.

There's also the "exclusive" Age of Ultron footage they talked about which will no doubt provide this weeks episode stinger.

According to Agents of SHIELD's twitter, Maria Hill is going to be in the next episode, so there's a lot of crossover potential there.

On another note, I took another look at next week's promo and for a brief moment you can see Skye in the Quinjet, which means that she's going to be rejoining the team before the episode's climax. The could make things interesting.

I have to say I like not only that Skye left the sanctuary, but the circumstances of how she did so and her reasons why.

I was worried no one was going to draw attention to the Inhumans' Moral Myopia, and I'm glad Skye actually had a problem with it rather than invoking something like But Now I Must Go.

Oh fuck me, Age of Ultron premieres on May 7 over here.

When does the crossover episode air? May 8?

"The Dirty Half Dozen"(April 28, 2015) features "Easter eggs, plot threads and other connective tissue leading into the opening scene of Avengers: Age of Ultron" while "Scars"(May 5, 2015) explores the aftermath of the film.
